Situations / 04

E-commerce · United StatesTypical scenario

The brand everyone comments on, but that sells one bottle at a time.

Skincare brand selling on Shopify in the United States. Strong Instagram audience, lots of questions in the comments, sales mostly one item at a time.

The diagnostic questionWhy does an audience that comments only buy one product at a time?

What you hear

“How much is it? Does it work for sensitive skin?”

What really holds them back

“I do not know which one to pick, and paying shipping for a single bottle puts me off.”

This is you if…

Three telltale signs.

  • Under your posts, people ask “how much is it?”.
  • You reply “link in bio”, and the conversation ends there.
  • Most of your orders contain a single product.
The mechanism, in one picture

What happens, seen from the customer’s side.

From comment to order: the “Comment INFO” post, the comment, the two-question direct message, the starter set with shipping included, the one-page checkout. We track comments to messages, messages to orders, and average order value.
The full path, from comment to checkout.
“How much is it?”: with “link in bio”, the customer gets lost in the catalogue; with “Comment INFO”, they get an answer and the right set.
Customers are not looking for a catalogue. They are looking for an answer.
What the diagnostic looks for

Three frictions, each with its proof.

01

Questions in the comments get “link in bio”: the link opens the whole catalogue.

02

Nothing is designed for a first purchase: customers build their routine alone.

03

Shipping costs only appear in the cart, at the moment of paying.

What we change

Three actions, in order.

  1. A “Comment INFO” post: every comment triggers a direct message.
  2. A message that asks two questions (skin type, goal) and sends the right set.
  3. A starter set, shipping included, with a direct link to a one-page checkout.
What we measure

Indicators we track together.

Indicator 1Comments that become direct-message conversations
Indicator 2Conversations that become orders
Indicator 3Average order value and share of orders that are sets

No promised numbers: starting values are recorded with you, then tracked.
